Kingaroy Police are keen to alert people to the upcoming firearms amnesty.
From February 1 to April 30, 2013, people can surrender unregistered firearms to their local firearms dealer or police station without fearing prosecution for their possession.
Personal details or reasons for the possession may not be required.
The State Government has also announced a State-wide amnesty from prosecution for the registration of unregistered weapons during the amnesty period.
If you hold a Weapons Act licence for the relevant category, you can apply to register the firearm at your local shooting club, firearms dealer, armourer or local police station without prosecution for its possession.
For more information, call the Firearms Amnesty Information Line during business hours on 1300-833-548 or contact them by by email
